For the record, grub2 supports the solution Samuel posted before,
i.e. it recognizes the partition /dev/hda10 as a real partition, even
if there's no partition table on it. Thus, my grub2 entry for qemu is
the following:
menuentry "Debian GNU/Hurd" {
set root=(hd0)
multiboot /boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd0
module /hurd/ext2fs.static \
--multiboot-command-line='${kernel-command-line}' \
--host-priv-port='${host-port}' \
--device-master-port='${device-port}' \
--exec-server-task='${exec-task}' \
-T typed '${root}' '$(task-create)' '$(task-resume)'
module /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec '$(exec-task=task-create)'
}
Note the single quotes used to escape $, { and }.
Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
